An electron in the hydrogen atom jumps from the 8th energy level to a lower energy level emitting 3.14×1011 kHz. If the mass of the electron is 9.11×10-31 kg and the uncertainty of its speed is 6.28 ×10-16 m/s. Determine the energy level that the electron will reside in? What are the possible orbital(s) that the electron can jump in?
Atomic Structure
The basic structure of an atom is defined as the component-level of atomic structure of an atom. Precisely speaking an atom consists of three major subatomic particles which are protons, neutrons, and electrons. Many theories have been stated for explaining the structure of an atom.
Shape of the D Orbital
Shapes of orbitals are an approximate representation of boundaries in space for finding electrons occupied in that respective orbital. D orbitals are known to have a clover leaf shape or dumbbell inside where electrons can be found.
